Health Statistics & Geographic Information Systems The Institute's Center for Health Statistics has acquired a wide range of census based data bases including: Vital Statistics, Notifiable Diseases, Cancer Registry and Hospital Discharge data. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data have been acquired and are being utilized for local assessment. Current efforts to expand local surveillance include efforts to conduct local Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance and collaborate with a local nationally recognized private sector effort to assess quality of life indicators.
